Hello banryu79,

I would like to implement this feature in this mod, but unfortunately I do not find a way to do that, may be because I am not a really expert on mods. I found a Uboat made for Monsum Operation in SH4 (I think) and atthis moment I am working with a similar idea, deploy a mine like a sonar decoy. But I am not sure that will work in SH3.I probably will test it on this week end.

If someone has the knowledge to do that and would like to help, I am open to receive any help or ideas.

Regards,
fsaconi

Hi fsaconi, I do not know a damn about modding but I made a little search in the SHIII Mods Workshop section and digged out some threads where you can read about mines and mine laying:

[WIP] Floating Mine (2007)
Conversion of a Torpedo Into a Stationary Mine? (2011)
No Mine Option in GWX (2007)
Looking for mine mod. (2010)
MINE LAYING question (2008)
Need help laying mines in MB? (2005)
Mine laying in SH3 ( 1 2 ) (2013)

I think this will be enough for a start

Thank You Anvar1061 for the "snorkel tube"!

I use the stock snorkel at the moment, and without the tubes.
I checked pictures of XB and realized they didn´t have snorkel tubes like IX C or IX C/40. I moved the snorkel to the side of the tower and not in front, see picture of U-234:

The stock snorkel is not very nice, combined to Wises and Kovalls snorkel of IX C, but the only one coming close to the one of U-234.


Best regards, Kurfürst
